Chapter 2, Problem 2.89FU

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: An equality and two conversion factors for Person G’s serum iron level should be written.

Concept Introduction: In humans, the normal range for serum iron is 80 to 160 mcg/dL.The low value of iron from this standard value indicates the deficiency of iron that is cause of anaemia.

Answer to Problem 2.89FU

Equality must be: 42 mcg of iron = 1 dL of blood

Conversion factors are:

  42 mcg iron1 dL blood1 dL blood42 mcg iron

Explanation of Solution

During the doctor visit of Person G; he complained about feeling tired. The blood test showed the level of iron indicates 42 mcg/dL that is low compare to permissible value of iron blood. It indicates the iron deficiency in Person G that may cause anaemia.

Thus, the equality must be: 42 mcg of iron = 1 dL of blood

An arithmetical multiplier which is used for converting a quantity expressed in one unit into another equivalent set of units is said to be conversion factor.

So, the conversion factors are:

  42 mcg iron1 dL blood1 dL blood42 mcg iron

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The micrograms of iron present in the 8.0 mL of sample of Person G’s blood should be calculated.

Concept Introduction:An arithmetical multiplier which is used for converting a quantity expressed in one unit into another equivalent set of units is said to be conversion factor.

Answer to Problem 2.89FU

3.4 mcg

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

42 mcg of iron = 1 dL of blood

Calculation:

  42 mcg iron1 dL bloodx  1 dL blood0.1  L of blood x1 Lblood1000 mL blood= 42 x 10-2 mcg / mL    42 x 10 -2 mcg1 mL x  8 mL1mL  =  3.4 mcg

Thus, the iron level in Person G’s blood was found 42 mcg/dL hence in 8 mL; it will be 3.4 mcg.
